热烈祝贺我校高一一班马霁月和韩念琪同学荣获2020中美友城英语辩论赛成都赛区决赛冠军！
为积极推动中美人文交流和中美关系健康稳定向前发展，进一步加强成都市与美国友诚间的友好联系，促进友诚青少年增进了解、深植友谊，成都市教育局与成都市人民政府外事办公室决定共同举办2020中国（成都）美国友城青少年英语辩论挑战赛。11月15日，该赛事的成都市级选拔赛决赛在成都市第四十九中学落幕。最终，我校高一一班的马霁月和韩念琪同学携手摘得桂冠。
中美友城英语辩论赛始于2016年，旨在进一步加强中美青少年人文交流，引导和帮助成都青少年学生强化英语口语、培养国际视野、提高独立思考能力及语言表达能力，亲身感受国际优秀青少年辩论风采，充分展示成都教育成果和成都青少年学生风采。本次活动面向成都市与美国的12个城市（菲尼克斯、檀香山、路易维尔、洛杉矶、纳什维尔、亚特兰大、休斯顿、旧金山、纽约、奥斯汀、芝加哥、奥兰多）的高中生。
本次赛事分中美双方选拔赛和中美辩手成都挑战赛两个阶段进行。
第一阶段为成都选拔赛初赛。有来自成都市14个区（市）县的39个学校的60支辩论代表队参加了初赛。初赛辩题为Mobile phones have brought people closer together vs Mobile phones have moved people further apart. 手机拉近了人们的距离, 还是让人与人的距离更远了？经过激烈角逐，32支队伍进入决赛，决赛辩题为The benefits of artificial intelligence outweigh its harmful effects vs The harmful effects of artificial intelligence outweigh its benefits。使用人工智能是利大于弊，还是弊大于利？比赛采用积分赛和淘汰赛制，最终决出冠军、亚军、季军、前四强、前八强、前十六强。
在本次比赛众多优秀辩手中，实外学子有着优异的表现：马霁月（高一一班零起点法语学生）、韩念琪 （高一一班）勇夺2020中美友城挑战赛成都市决赛冠军；闾怡之（高二三班）、罗唯嘉（高二十七班）荣获成都市决赛16强；周羽蔚（高一一班双语德语学生）、贾歆洁（高一八班双语德语学生）荣获成都市决赛16强；唐雨澜（高一三班）、张馨文（高一一班）取得成都市决赛32强的好成绩。
接下来则为赛事第二阶段，即—中美挑战赛。由于疫情影响，本次比赛方式将改为中美线上对决，比赛时间为11月21、22、28及29号。希翼我校学子能够沉着应对，以绝佳的姿态和高超的英语思辨能力向来自美国友城的同龄人展现我国青年一代的进取精神与自信风采。

Through the points competition and elimination competition, the top 16, top 8, top 4, third place, second place and champion teams were decided in turn.

以下是部分同学的比赛心得：
韩念琪参赛感言：
首先我非常感谢给予大家帮助的老师，父母以及我的搭档在准备中美友诚辩论赛中给予我非常多的鼓励和支撑。辩论，提升了我随机应变的能力，让我的思维更加严谨且活跃，让我能够逐渐在临场时捕捉对方的漏洞进行辩驳。辩论赛场是属于大家大胆表达自我的舞台，同时它给予大家机会展现了大家作为少年对社会和世界的认知，展现了大家作为新一代青年对人类发展方方面面的思考。让大家带有这些独立的思考去看待社会发展，拥有辩证的角度去看待这个时代。
We look up at the stars in the sky, but we also come down to earth at the same time. In this day and age, as a teenager, we should not only pay attention to immediate learning, but also look at the world. We will eventually get into society. Only by thinking and analyzing the present situation can we understand how to change and develop in the future. This debate brings us far more than the championship which we won. It helps us broaden our views and look forward to the future.
马霁月参赛感言：
这次辩论赛给大家青少年提供了一个很好的平台。 在这里，大家认识了新的朋友，讨论当今社会的发展与世界局势。对我而言，这次辩论赛拓宽了我的视野。不仅使我走出了我的舒适区，也提升了我的临场反应能力与相关演讲技巧，特别是对于之前我从不感兴趣的话题的演讲能力。在整个比赛过程中，我也学会了如何正确且有效地应对压力。最为重要的是，随着比赛的进行，我和搭档的友谊逐渐加深，我也懂得了合作的真正含义。总体而言，这次比赛让我受益匪浅。
This debate offered us teenagers a platform where we met new friends and discussed the development of our society and the world situation. Personally, it was a great chance for me to broaden my horizons. Not only did it push me outside my comfort zone, but also it enabled me to do impromptu speeches related to topics which were never of interest to me. In the whole process, I also learnt how to deal with pressure properly and efficiently. Mostly importantly, as the debate went on, a deep and lasting relationship formed between my partner and I. And I understood what cooperation really meant. Overall, it was really beneficial.
周羽蔚参赛感言：
参加这次比赛的初衷本来只是通过实战加深对PF Debate的了解、给未来铺垫一个基础，但在过程中我却有了意料之外的收获。从对美辩的理解、口语的提升再到在准备过程中对辩题的进一步学习和实际辩论，对我而言都意义非凡。我还想感谢我的搭档贾歆洁，和她的合作非常愉快。尽管最后结果一般，但过程本身就足够精彩。
My original intention for participating in this contest was to deepen my understanding of PF debate through practice and thus pave the way for further expansion. However, during the process I’ve learnt so much that I’ve never expected. From learning the rules of PF Debate, the improvement of my spoken English to the further study of debate topics and having a real debate, all these mean a lot to me. Moreover, I really appreciate my partner Selina for having such a wonderful cooperation with her. Though the final result doesn't seem perfect, the process itself is significant enough.
贾歆洁参赛感言：
正式比赛之前大家对辩论的了解都只停留在理论阶段。但实际上这次比赛从各方面提高了大家的综合能力。例如筹备阶段就很大地提高了大家搜索信息的能力以及根据各方面的论据总结出自己的观点，再次从反方进行反驳，最后甄选最好的论点放在Case中在比赛中表现。再比如在辩论的crossfire中，大家的应变能力和逻辑能力也得到了高强度的锻炼。在这里，大家还想感谢给大家帮助的各位老师以及对手们的精彩表现！
Before the competition, all we know about Public Forum is a little theoretical knowledge. Being actually involved in the debate has not only taught us the rules and techniques, but also it has improved our ability from a variety of aspects. For instance, during the preparation time we had to learn how to search for the most helpful, accurate and persuasive evidence to support our views and how to make rebuttals towards our own contentions of both sides and choose the best ones in the formal debate. Take crossfire for another example. We practised how to act according to different circumstances and express our logic link clearly. We’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the teachers who have offered us great help and a big thank-you to our opponents for their fantastic performance!
